Knights Ballpark was the site for Stripes Conference action featuring the Ann Arbor Z's and Denver Pilots.

The Ann Arbor Z's went down to defeat to Chris Marquis and his Denver teammates. The final score was 5-2, in favor of the Pilots. The winner was Marquis. He threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Mike Medley. Billy Merner earned the save for Denver, his 21st of the year.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Robby Finkler? The Denver third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Pilots on top, 3-0. For the game, Finkler had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I thought we played a nice game," Finkler told the Denver Daily. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."

The win makes Denver 45-52.
